Walking, he stared raptly at her face
On his lips, her smell, her taste Black hair framing her perfect face With her wonderful mind and her incredible grace And so, he woke, he woke her with a start To offer her his heart For once and for all, forever to keep And the words, that she first heard him speak Were really very sweet He was asking her to marry him, and to Think it over Baby, think it over Think it over Baby, why don't you think it over She said, "Somewhere, there's a faraway place Where all is ordered and all is grace No one there is ever disgraced And everyone there is wise And everyone has taste," And then she sighed, well La Dee Dah Dee Dah You and I have come quite far And we really must watch what we say Because when you ask for someone's heart You must know that you're smart Smart enough to care for it, so I'm gonna Think it over Baby, think it over Think it over Baby, I'm gonna think it over |

Some people are into the power of power
The absolute corrupting power, that makes great men insane While some people find their refreshment in action The manipulation, encroachment and destruction of their inferiors Growing up in public, growing up in public Growing up in public, growing up in public with your pants down Some people are into sadistic pleasures They whet their desires and drool in your ears They're quasi-effeminate characters in love with oral gratification They edify your integrities, so they can play on your fears They're gonna do you in public, 'cause you're growing up in public They're gonna do it to you in public, 'cause you're growing up in public with your pants down Some people think being a man is unmanly Some people think that the whole concept's a joke But some people think being a man is the whole point And then some people wish they'd never awoke Up from a dream of nightmarish proportions Down to a size neither regal nor calm A prince hamlet caught the middle between reason and instinct Caught in the middle with your pants down again Caught in the middle, I'm really caught in the middle I'm caught in the middle, caught in the middle deciding about you |
